One of the most difficult stages for rhinoplasty surgeons is the shaping the bone. Many different methods are used today this purpose called "osteotomy". Frequently used methods are cutting the nasal bones with a hammer and chisel and by using motor systems. Today, using these conventional methods such as hammer and chisel is not widely preferred and seems rudimentary.  There is much more elegant and subtle new method for the osteotomy. The name of this method is ultrasonic bone cutting and shaping method: Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty. Some of the advantges includes: - Reduction of soft tissue trauma so the bruises and swelling almost never happens. - Owing to controlled cuts, the formed lines appear delicate providing more elegant transition from nose back to nose tip. - It prevents uncontrolled bone fractures due to use of chisel and hammer method or micro-motor systems. Thus, it prevents disorders causes to bad appearance that occurs between nasal bone and facial bones in form of steps. - Postoperative recovery is faster because it does not cause damage to the soft tissue surrounding the blood vessels and cartilages so patients may return to their daily lives much more quickly. - More farsighted results can be achieved by bone forming which can be measured in millimetres, so it allows more satisfactory results.  - It increases patient satisfaction. - It reduces complications and unwanted situations occurring after rhinoplasty.
